1469 The Canadian Mineralogist Vol. 43, pp. 1469-1487 (2005) BORATE MINERALS OF THE PENOBSQUIS AND MILLSTREAM DEPOSITS, SOUTHERN NEW BRUNSWICK, CANADA JOEL D. GRICE§, ROBERT A. GAULT AND JERRY VAN VELTHUIZEN† Research Division, Canadian Museum of Nature, P.O. Box 3443, Station D, Ottawa, Ontario K1P 6P4, Canada ABSTRACT The borate minerals found in two potash deposits, at Penobsquis and Millstream, Kings County, New Brunswick, are described in detail. These deposits are located in the Moncton Subbasin, which forms the eastern portion of the extensive Maritimes Basin. These marine evaporites consist of an early carbonate unit, followed by a sulfate, and fi nally, a salt unit. The borate assemblages occur in specifi c beds of halite and sylvite that were the last units to form in the evaporite sequence. Species identifi ed from drill-core sections include: boracite, brianroulstonite, chambersite, colemanite, congolite, danburite, hilgardite, howlite, hydroboracite, kurgantaite, penobsquisite, pringleite, ruitenbergite, strontioginorite, szaibélyite, trembathite, veatchite, volkovskite and walkerite. In addition, 41 non-borate species have been identifi ed, including magnesite, monohydrocalcite, sellaite, kieserite and fl uorite. The borate assemblages in the two deposits differ, and in each deposit, they vary stratigraphically. At Millstream, boracite is the most common borate in the sylvite + carnallite beds, with hilgardite in the lower halite strata. At Penobsquis, there is an upper unit of hilgardite + volkovskite + trembathite in halite and a lower unit of hydroboracite + volkov- skite + trembathite–congolite in halite–sylvite. At both deposits, values of the ratio of B isotopes [␦11B] range from 21.5 to 37.8‰ [21 analyses] and are consistent with a seawater source, without any need for a more exotic interpretation. -

Boron Minerals of Turkey: Hydroboracite
BORON MINERALS OF TURKEY: HYDROBORACITE Ali DEMİRCİOĞLU Mineral Research and Exploration Institute of Turkey SUMMARY. — The main borate deposits of Turkey are located in the area between Balıkesir and Kütahya Provinces. The chemical analysis of the hydroboracite samples collected from Günevi mine of the Bigadiç-Yolbaşı area and the loss of water recorded at higher temperatures were studied. The samples were further examined under the microscope and by X-ray diffraction methods. Studies carried out to date indicate that no intermediate compounds, containing relatively small amounts of crystal water, compared to the original mineral, were observed as a result of heating the hydroboracite samples to higher temperatures. Based on the Mohs' scale of hardness, the hardness of hydroboracite mineral discovered in Turkey wes determined to be more than 5 and less than 6. Dana, however, states that the hardness of hydroboracite mineral ranges between 2 to 3. The DTA curve of the hydroboracite mineral discovered in Yolbaşı reveals the major macro properties of this mineral. HYDROBORACITE (1) Hydroboracite has been reported to have the chemical composition MgO • CaO • 3B2O3 • 6H2O. Hydroboracite is a magnesium calcium hydrate of boron where one CaO of the colemanite (2CaO.3B2O3.5H2O) is displaced by MgO. Hardness: 2 (crystal), 3 (compact mass) Crystal system: monoclinic Specific gravity: 2.167 Theorically it consists of 50.53 % B2O3; 13.57 % CaO; 9.75 % MgO and 26.15 % H2O. Hydroboracite occurs in small quantities in the various boron deposits of the world. Com- mercial hydroboracite deposits are found in Inder, a locality in Siberia, U.S.S.R. -

CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC SYMMETRY Complete Normalizer for a Direct Product of Three-Dimensional Rotation Groups V. I. Burdina Shubnikov Institute of Crystallography, Russian Academy of Sciences, Leninskiœ pr. 59, Moscow, 117333 Russia Received June 19, 1996; in final form, December 1, 1999 Abstract—A normalizer of the symmetry group defined on a three-dimensional sphere S3 of rotation is con- sidered in the four-dimensional Euclidean space E4. The sphere S3 is treated as the first approximation of the 1 & × three-dimensional crystallographic space. The analysis of the normalizer of the direct product = G1 G2 of space crystallographic rotation groups G1 and G2 is reduced to the study of transformations characterized by 1+ 1+ the positive determinants of the subgroups (G1) and (G2). These subgroups correspond to the Euclidean 1 1+ × 1+ normalizers = (G1) (G2) of the components of the direct product. We derived a table including the groups of automorphisms induced by the transformations corresponding to the normalizers under study. Ana- lyzing the general operation of multiplication of three-dimensional rotations in E4, we refined the distribution of the supersymmetry operators of the three-dimensional sphere of rotations, S3, for the symmetry groups con- sidered earlier. © 2000 MAIK “Nauka/Interperiodica”. INTRODUCTION computer-calculated regular divisions. The procedure is illustrated by two examples. A normalizer 1 of the symmetry group & is widely used in crystallography [1, 2] alongside with a more general concept of symmetrizer. -

Magyarbangol Geológiai Szótár
KÁZMÉR MIKLÓS MAGYARBANGOL GEOLÓGIAI SZÓTÁR BUDAPEST 2019 A szótár elkészültét az Eötvös Loránd Tudományegyetem támogatta Lektorálta Papp Gábor 6 Dictionaries are like watches, the worst is better than none, and the best cannot be expected to go quite true. Samuel Johnson, 1784 Bevezetés A jelen MagyarBangol Geológiai Szótár az 1995-ben megjelent AngolBmagyar Geológiai Szótár kiegészítésének készült. Címszóanyaga annak megfelelő, mintegy 17.000 szó és szókapcsolat. A két szótár egymásnak nem tükörképe: a magyar és az angol megfelelők esetenként jelentősen eltérő jelentéstani terjedelme miatt valamennyi szópárt manuális ellenőrzésnek kellett alávetni, szükség esetén módosítva a jelentést, törölve, ill. beillesztve szinonímákat. A szótár nemcsak a szélesebb értelemben vett földtan szókincsét tartalmazza, hanem azokat a szavakat is, amelyekkel egy geológus szakmunkákat olvasva találkozhat (laboratóriumi eszközök, terepmunka eszközei, geofizikai alapszókincs, mászaki szavak, mélyfúrási, bányászati terminológia, alapvetÅ matematikai, fizikai, kémiai, biológiai szókincs stb).
